Social Work Education in Europe: A Retrospective View
The introduction of European funding in the 1980s played an important part in the establishment of networks contributing to the learning opportunities of social work students in the latter part of the twentieth century and more recently.

The recent vote to leave the Euro…

Findings demonstrate th…
